In Hong Kong, Traditional Chinese also represents Cantonese, traditional Chinese means the written words and Cantonese is the spoken language but they are the same. While, simplify Chinese means the written words for Mandarin, when they speak it calls Mandarin. But actually simplify Chinese was transformed from traditional Chinese it is because the China government led to a simplification of the writing system since 1956 because of the difficulties to read and write in most traditional characters, for example number of strokes. During this process, about 2,000 Chinese characters were made easier to read and write.
  In the Chinese writing system, there is no any limitation to the number of characters as it is open-ended one. The largest amount of characters of the Chinese dictionaries include around sixty thousand characters.
